2 Minutes to Midnight Lyrics

Artist: Iron Maiden
Album: Ed Hunter

(Adrian Smith/Bruce Dickinson)

Kill for gain or shoot to maimBut we don't need a reasonThe Golden Goose is on the looseAnd never out of seasonSome blackened pride still burns insideThis shell of bloody treasonHere's my gun for a barrel of funFor the love of living death.

CHORUSThe killer's breed or the demon's seed,The glamour, the fortune, the pain,Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain,But don't you pray for my soul anymore.2 minutes to midnightThe hands that threaten doom.2 minutes to midnightTo kill the unborn in the womb.

The blind men shout let the creatures outWe'll show the unbelieversThe napalm screams of human flamesOf a prime time Belsen feast...YEAH!As the reasons for the carnage cut their meat and lick the gravy,We oil the jaws of the war machine and feed it with our babies.

CHORUS

The body bags and little rags of children torn in twoAnd the jellied brains of those who remain to put the finger right on you.As the madmen play on words and make us all dance to their song,To the tune of starving millions to make a better kind of gun.

CHORUS

Midnight...all night...
